","text":"Your seeing more super singles, because it makes the truck/trailer lighter, therfore getting more freight on it.\nSo let's think about this... 9 trucks with super singles can pull the freight that 10 trucks with dual tires can do.\nSo, what happens is... The customer is happy because they save the money on shipping. Your company is happy because they keep the customer.\nBUT... There's 1 guy with no work, and you guys with super singles are loaded with more freight, pulling in for the same rate that you used to. And your burning more fuel.\nMoral of today's lesson... Super singles good for shipper/consignee.\nSuper singles bad for owner operators.\nGuys... This really is simple... We are in business to make a profit. Not to do favors... SAY NO TO CHEAP FREIGHT","replyToPid":156335}
